To all my readers in the United States – Happy Fourth of July! I hope you are all enjoying the picnics, barbeques and family gatherings. Tonight will be the big night for fireworks.

This year is the 125th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty. She has been a part of many firework displays in New York harbour.

While you are enjoying all the family gatherings why not sit down with one of the senior members of the family and have a chat. See what stories they might have to tell. You may find out something new about the family.

Today is the first anniversary of my blog. This year I have met other bloggers at conferences and had the opportunity to connect with my readers through their comments. I have even found a few new cousins in the process. Writing The Passionate Genealogist has been fun and I am looking forward to another year of learning new things and meeting new people. If there is a topic you would like me to examine let me know.
